  No reason it should.  ARP should be using *broadcast* packets, 
which should be picked up by all nodes.  Promiscuous mode just means 
that the node picks up non-broadcast packets addressed to other 
nodes, in addition to the broadcast packets and specific addressed 
packets that it should always be picking up.
